Money is VERY important to women.

You ladies can deny it all day but it's true.

It has been scientifically proven that money matters - to a degree. An average looking man who may be overweight but who makes well into six figures is more attractive than the same man who makes $35k a year as a clerk.

This has been shown time and again in public, random surveys.
Yeah, but that's probably because of the other traits that the six figure guy has that made him into a six figure guy. At least for me, it would.

On another site, there were "testimonials" from guys who got married and found they were on the hook for not only a large piece of the wedding costs but tens of thousands of CC debt.

So based on this, I'd say VERY important.

My dad raised a family of 9 on $45k/yr, and we were and still are a close and happy family. Money doesn't buy happiness, therefore it's not high up on my list of qualities I want in a future partner. I'd much rather be poor and happy than rich and miserable.

I am attracted to men that have their lives together and don't have any hang-ups or baggage, hence how I got involved with my boyfriend. To me money is nice yes but, it's not everything and as long as you aren't up to your eyeballs in debt and you still can afford to have a good time now and then so be it.

You are asking 2 different questions.

As far as dating a "man with money"...that is certainly relative, isn't it? No, I surely would not care to date someone that had NO money. I already support someone, I don't need an adult to support.

And by "75% of paying for stuff", do you mean as far as dates? I wouldn't assign a percentage to it, but yes I prefer the man pay, the majority of the time.

I don't deny it. It is VERY important to me that a man has his own money. If I wanted to take care of someone; I'd have another child.

No strike that. I'd adopt. I wasn't cute during pregnancy.

haha.. I'm wondering the same thing. This thread has been meaningless so far. Obviously women should have standards, but there's a lot of gray area between a Wal-Mart greeter and a billionaire.
